How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”?
As my years as chief resident drew to a close I asked myself this question on
more than one occasion.
The answer,I concluded,was self-confidence.When
you can say to yourself,“There is no surgical patient I cannot treat
competently,treat just as well as or better than any other surgeon”---then ,
and not until then,you are indeed a surgeon.I was nearing that point.
Take,
for example,the emergency situations that we encountered almost every night.
The first few months of the year I had dreaded the ringing of the telephone.I
knew it meant another critical decision to be made.Often,after I had told Walt
or Larry what to do in a particular situation,I’d have trouble getting back to
sleep.I’d review all the facts of the case and.Not infrequently,wonder if I
hadn’t made a poor decision.More than once at two or three in the morning,
after lying awake for an hour,I’d get out of bed,dress and drive to the
hospital to see the patient myself.It was the only was I could find the peace
of mind I needed to relax.
Now,in the last month of my residency,sleeping
was no longer a problem.There were still situations in which I couldn’t be
certain my decision had been the right one,but I had learned to accept this as
a constant problem for a surgeon,one that could never be completely
resolved---and I could live with it.So,once I had made a considered decision,
I no longer dwelt on it.Reviewing it wasn’t going to help and I knew that with
my knowledge and experience,any decision I’d made was bound to be a sound one.
It was a nice feeling.
